very nice write up. Didn't know there was a specific order to the LCA bolts.

are those even "bushings" in the SRR LCA? or are they just metal?

Yes almost any material can be a bushing, anything from a pvc pipe to a cnc machined aluminum piece.

No not really. I went from outside to inside.

 

Props! Very good write up, are you by any chance a Laker fan ...purple and yellow combo...Cool..

 

Where did you order them from?

 

The bushings are sphercial which means there is no rubber. It is a metal ball in a metal cup so it pivots. They are sealed so dirt doesn't enter the cup and wear out the bushing.

The is the order I chose for ease of removal and installation. The rear trailing arm usually hangs the 2 bolts toward the middle are harder to get out. If you work them out from the outside in, the LCA just falls as you go.

 

how much were those spherical bearings?

 

talk about massive overkill tools, wow.

 

I got them from KIWI.
